Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
